Wednesday, March 12, 2003Some of the nation's leading medical schools have abandoned a little-known, decades-old practice of letting students perform pelvic exams on women without their consent while they are under anesthesia. We learned to do pelvic exams on conscious women who volunteered. Hard to believe someone would volunteer for something like that. Actually, I'm wrong. They weren't really volunteers. They were paid instructors, and they talked us through the exam as we did it. It may seem a little strange, but it was an extremely effective way to learn the exam, much better than an e-pelvis would be. And the men in our class were forced to get in the stirrups so they would know what it feels like. posted by Sydney on 3/12/2003 07:45:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
